{"product_id":"apple-malus-red-falstaff®-mm106","title":"Apple (Malus) Red Falstaff® MM106","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA red sport of the popular 'Falstaff' and holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Red Falstaff' has become even more sought-after than its parent thanks to its richer, deeper colouring. Grafted onto the semi-vigorous MM106 rootstock, it makes a robust, well-anchored tree reaching around 3.5–4m in height and spread, suited to larger gardens or orchards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePink blossom, with good frost resistance, appears in spring, followed by fruit with orange-red flushed skin over crisp, green-fleshed flesh. The flavour is well-balanced, fruity, crisp, and juicy, with plenty of scrunchy bite — equally good for eating fresh or juicing. Harvest from October, with the fruit storing for one to two months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e'Red Falstaff' is self-fertile, so it will crop well alone, though it fruits even better with a pollination partner in the same period (Group 2 or 3, depending on source) or an adjacent group. It has a slightly weeping habit and is particularly well suited to colder, northern and eastern parts of the country, though it can be susceptible to scab in more humid areas. MM106 tolerates a wide range of soils and generally doesn't need permanent staking once established, though it takes a little longer to come into fruit than more dwarfing rootstocks — usually 4–5 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlant in full sun in moist, well-drained soil, and prune each winter to maintain an open, productive shape. As with all apple varieties, the pips contain small amounts of naturally occurring toxins, so they're best removed if the fruit is being used for cooking with children in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach tree is hand-selected before dispatch.
